"Flavor is copium" -Olivia keeping it real AF

[@mgfox]

My absolute favorite part about this new show is how natural everyone feels. Some other shows have become somewhat overproduced and feel like they lack sincerity. This show is just great, friends playing magic, what's not to love.

[@commanderathome]

That’s exactly what we’re trying to hit so I’m glad it comes though!

[@crazydreams24]

Your right, I used to watch gameknights back when I barley started playing magic, and while I’m glad they became very successful cause those guys deserved it, the games themselves don’t feel natural anymore, even the banter at the table feels almost scripted like they were told to say that. While I’m sure the games themselves are real, it just gives me more of reality tv vibes than a true game of magic.

[@Darksoulsfail]

@@crazydreams24 gameknights always felt scripted to me, im sure they somehow check that the match goes a certain way so its entertaining enough/ has the right amount of quality to it

[@lilchopan8418]

​@@crazydreams24true, gameknights is wholesome and family friendly but at the same time their games don't feel natural or their interactions authentic. My favorite edh channel so far is I hate your deck. They're more chill and actually kinda relatable more when it comes to just casual interactions mid-game.

[@LyleBoy2]

Commander at Home has quickly become one of my favorite ways to watch people play Commander. It’s so fun and casual, and it feels just like when I get to play. Keep up the good work, y’all!

This commander show while only having 2 episodes is already my favorite. People having fun playing, busting each others chops, cracking jokes. Not to mention is has 2 of my top 5 favorite players to watch, Brian cause of his no mercy deck building, and Olivia for how meme her decks always are. Hope this channel continues to grow and succeed😁

[@benjiray1995]

This series took exactly one episode to become my favorite commander show. Been watching Kibler's Hearthstone content since I was young just getting into card games, love the humor from you guys and the guests you bring on. Everything from the table conversations to the power levels of the decks to the editing feel like a game of commander played with friends. Thanks for doing this!

Wow!!! Crim really pulled out the Anime turn-around at the end, there! But instead of using the power of friendship, he was the villain who fed on hatred and pain. Lmao. What a cool game! I also love the chaotic energy at the table where there are sometimes 2-3 conversations going on at once and then someone misses what's going on. It's too real!

[@Wolzmeister]

At 13:48 there is a crucial point where I thought Crim messed up his life total as Kibler was correcting him he lost an extra Life from his Commanders effect but it seems they cut out where he needed further explanation as his life does change correctly from 33-30. Had to go back after the ending to see if it was the difference. Glad it was legit!
